Agricultural Statistics. The Agricultural report by the Commission -.r of Palciita, tor 1817, has oo.on published.— We have not seen it. hut find in some of our ex changes statistical t.uhtos copied front the re port. These tables are not made up from the nine authentic data, in all cases, and therefore should he taken with some caution, especially if the compiler he not a man thoroughly con versant with the subject, and such a man is not the present Commissioner ol Patents. — I'iie inode in which the information is obtained is this: The Commissioner addressed a cir ul.ir t o many gentleman throughout the coun try’ noted for the interest they take in such m itters. asking them to till up the accotnpa nyng blanks, with their estimate of crops in t’ .raeveral counties. These estimates must o I mse and often erroneous, for a man may ft vary good tiller of the soil or breeder, ai t at flic same time wholly incompetent t.i rlbrm the service required. The mode adopted is however, the best possible one in the absence of proper govcrmental provisions lor ascertaining tin facts authenticaly. and tin- results stated by the Commissioner may probably be relied upon as a tolerable close approximtion to the truth. The Pennsylvania publishes the following table show.ing, as thus estimated, the aggregates of the principal ar ticles of agricultural product in the U. States, for the vears 1840nnd 1845: ltuo. 1815.

Hotv t*. have been enabled to overcome these obnta e’es tad enjoy conprtrativ’ prosperity in spit / of the evils of bad govcriiineot is explained i the following remarks, copied from tne re “ Every year introduces, likewise, to the ag iculturis t some additional implement by whicl bis labor is lessened, or better done ; and wliil he is thus saved somewhat of the sweat o. his brow, he is likewise assured of til greater profit from the fruits of his industry There is thus, mutual dependence uk to tli pursuits of the farmer and those of the parti ] zan.

In view of iiis ov.- i approved tools and oi culture, lie, may well wonder boa bis fathers, and even himself, tormerly could have been satisfied with the ruder ones whieh have been so long inti. . . We are, however, but at the cowmen cement of these better tilings. “The researches of each successive year, and the multiplied faculties added to the trail of conveniences enjoyed, authorize the belie that the advancement of agricultu. al industry is destin"d far to exceed any that has yet bee. seen.” • Beside the table given above we find one | showing the products of wheat, corn, |x>tatofs | tobacco and cotton, in the several States lit.’ | the year 1645. We have not room lor thee ■ , tables to-day, but the following eotnparisoi ; by a writer in the Albany Argus for the fact i tiiey disclose will be found interesting. in the article of Wheat it will be seen that New York, it 1840 ranked as the third wheat growing State,of the Union, in 1845 ranked a.; tne first State. Ohiohohling the second pliu’e, and Pennsylvania the third. The Stab s n Georgia and Maine sin w a decrease. Tin men aso in Vermont and Tennessee is nearly 100 per cent. Culture ol'Turncps.

It is un idea with many iu Maine, that a] pie trees in this State do not live so long a they do in the southern parts of New Kay laud —that they begin to decay at the ngc <• forty or filly years. We do not know wlietl er this is correct or not. Apple trees that hnv been neglected, or set oat on unsuitable land will umioubtediy decay in that period of linn if not sooner; but we doubt if (oil things bi ing equal as to soil) whether the apple tree i B pny shorter lived in Maine than in Mama ehusett*. The oldest apple trees iu the int< rior of Maine, sny in Kennebec county, nr II nho i* fitly years of age, and the most of thcr ■re vigorous and healthy. It is true that H many trees are decaying, or dead—some ltav died or are suffering from injuries ; others Iron H -the improper roniitUin of the soil, the wate ut until .'ic about them or collecting about thei. I foots in co tsequence ofun impervious subsoi 1 |i —others dying or lingering from the effects o. Hi t 1 ‘sirer It was n prevalent opinion during ■ I yt. any ve.trs of the first settlement of Kenac k j utni upper ports of Kciiaebes county, that „u, nio, aiiu mis timderen people from planting so soon as they other wise would, consequently our orchards are not so old as many ol the settlements are in which they are placed. The oldest orehads in Maine are probably in York county, and we should he happy to hear from some of our friends in that section of the State on this question. We believe that the first orchard ever set out in New England was on the Percguin White place in Plymouth in 1038, and one of the trees was living a few years ago. and. of course, must be over two hundred years old. We find an account of an old apple tree in the second volume of the American Agricul turist, in a letter from J. W. Stuart to A. B. Allen, E.-q., the editor. We copy a part of it for the information of those of our readers who feel a curiosity in such matters. The tree stands on the Charter Oak place in Hartford. ‘•This place was the seat of the Wyllys family one of much distinction in the history of this State, and remained in their possession till about twenty years ago. when it passed by purchase into the bands of Stephen Bulkley, lately deceased. According to the uniform statement of this family, and that Mr. Hulk ley, to whom it was communicated by the last proprietor of the. Wyllys name, from whom lie purchased it. the apple tree, in ques tion was brought from England some time be fore his death, which took place in 1615. This tree, therefore, is probably more than two hundred years old. Nearly two-tlurds of its trunk are now gone. The remainder con sists of a side or shell not more than four inch es thick in any- part. The inside of the tree has therefore, almost entirely disappeared, but the portion left and the bark on it are still vigorous. So far as can be judged from its present appearance, the trunk was about twenty inches in diameter. From the top se veral young and thrifty branches shoot out giving a present height to tli-• tree of about twenty-live feet. It is of the variety called peal-mam’. It generally bo irs more or less and this year (1843) bore about hnlf.i bush el. The fruit is very choice.” —Maine Far mer. Charcoal Beneficial to Peach-Tree*. Mr. Mason Cleveland, of Hartford. Ct. makes public in the American Agriculturist an experiment made upon a peach-tree by an acquaintance of his. tiie truth of which he says can lie depended upon beyond all ques tion—at any rate the experiment is a cheap one and is worth trying. He had a young peach-tree, the leaves of which were turning yellow, and showing other symptoms of decay . My friend calling to mind ti e qualities of charcoal, removed the turf and soil, m ar the roots, in a circle of about two feet in diameter around the tree, and filled the space to a lev el with the surrounding soil, with line pieces and dust ofchareonl, which remained in the bottom of the box. The result was surpris ing. The tree put on fine healthy leaves in stead of the yellow ones, and all other signs of sickness departed in a wonderful short space ol time. The tree again commenced growing and remained perfectly healthy un til !j.• * \ ears after, when it was destroyed by the weight of its crop ol fruit assisted by a strong wind. It is worthy of note that its fruit, both in quality and size, was as much improved as the appearance of the tree itself. Rules tor Milking. A writer in the Maine Farmer gives ns the following rules lor milking cows:—Having milked, more or less, every season since 1 was a • woe bit ” of a boy. and having seen it done so jioorly as to injure the cow, I purpose to give, a few rules for it, which 1 have learned from my own and others’ experience. They are as lolluws. 1. Have a good stool to sit on. 2. Have all your finger nails pared short and smooth. 3. Sit down and clean the bag. and wet the teals with the first stream of milk. 4 T/u-n set the pail under and milk as fast as you can conveniently —the luster the bet ter. A cow will give more milked fast titan when milked slow. 5. Milk as though the teats were full to the last otherwise it makes them long to “strip” in a little wl file. 6. Never scold or strike a cow for running about the yard or kicking. It generally does more barm than good. 7. If she rims about have patience- —talk kindly to her—and tie her upas a last resource, tilt she is not afraid. 8. Ifsbe kicks, sit forward far enough for your knee to come forward ofher leg, and she cannot easily hurt you or spill the milk. ft. If she switch s you with her tail, in “ fly time,” fasten it by parting it and tying it round her leg. Use a string if the hair is not long enough. 10. If she holds up In r milk butt u ith your howls. What else does a call butt for but to make the mother give the milk down ? Hoses and Tulips Growing. It it so uncommon a thing to sec tulips last till roses come to be blown, that the seeing them in this garden grow together, u.s it de serves my notice, so mctiiinks it should sug gest to me some reflection or other on it. And perhaps it may riot he an improper one to com pare the difference betwixt these two kinds of flowers to the disparity which I have oltcii observed betwixt the lates of those young ladies that tire only very handsome, and those that have a less degree ol beauty, recompens ed by the accession of wit. discretion, ami vir tue ; for tulips whilst they are fresh, do in deed. by the lustre and vividness of their col- 1 ors more delight the eye than roses; but then they do not alone quickly fade, but. as soon as they have lost tin tr freshness and guadi ness that solely endeared them, th'ey degene rate into things not only undesirable, but dis tasteful j whereas roses, besides the moderate beauty they disclose to the eye (which issutii Clout to please, though not to charm it.) do not only keep their color longer than tulips, but. when that decays, retain a perfumed odor, an I divers useful qualities and virtues that survive the spring, uud recommend them all the year. Thus those unadvised young ladies, that, because nature has given them beauty enough, despise all other qualities, and even that regular diet which is ordinarily requisite to make beauty itself lasting, not only are wont to decay betimes, but as soon as they have lost that youthful freshness that alone endeared them, quickly pass from being objects of wonder and love, to lie so of pity, if not of scorn; whereas those that were as so licitous to enrich their minds as to adorn their .faces inay not only with a mediocrity of beau ty be very desirable whilst that lasts but, not withstanding the recess of that and youth, may. by the Irugrancy of their reputation, and those virtues anu ornaments of the mind that time does but improve, be always sufficiently en deared to those that have merit enough to dis ccrn and value such excellencies, and whose esteem and friendship is alone worth being concerned for. In a word, they prove the hap piest as they are the, wisest ladies that, whilst they possess the desirable qualities th.it youth is wont to give, neglect not the nequist (in quisition) of those that age cannot take aw ay.

His first ands com! im provements made the quality of cotton perfect, though some wore rather slow His third made them : uni -1 ciently lust. It then only remained tomakf them more durable and convenient, which has been done he be ’ lieves effectually, by several new ini prove incuts the pre sent year: besides, he has the exclusive right for the State, w ith the privilege of other sections, to furnish Reid’s Patent Water Boxes, which are iielieved to Is* ten times more durable than any other, by those who have made a fair trial of them ; and arc infallibly se cure against fire by friction. His fine Gins will gin Mastodon Cotton as w-ell as any Saw (din can. Ills agents will visit planters generally, and exhibit speci mens of his late improvements, and point out their ad vantages in time lor ail to engage and be supplied be fore the next ginning season, or engagements can he made by letter, directed to him, Clinton, Jones county, Georgia. Gins will be delivered at tin* put chaw r’s res idence, in any part of the State except the Cherokee counties, where they w ill be left at the Depot on th** Railroad most convenient to the pnrcha***r.
